From Lucas Whitefield Hixon:

Massachusetts Congressman Edward J. Markey Tells NRC “SUSPEND ALL REACTOR LICENSING”

On Wednesday, Massachusetts Congressman Ed Markey released a letter requesting that the NRC suspend all reactor licensing following the disaster at Fukushima Daiichi. Edward John Markey, (born July 11, 1946) is the U.S. Representative for Massachusetts’s 7th congressional district, serving since 1976. Congressman Markey is well-known for his public pressure that prompted BP to provide a live underwater video feed showing the oil leaking out of a pipe in the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in 2010. In March 2008, Markey signed the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Act to direct the President to seek to establish an international renewable energy agency to expand the availability and generating capacity of renewable energy to markets around the world in order to increase economic opportunity, drive technological innovation, enhance regional and global security, raise living standards, and reduce global warming pollution.  . . .
